The BS with a major in Electrical Engineering provides students
the background that is essential for the conception, design, development, and manufacture of electrical, electronic and information technology products and systems. Students may specialize
in the areas of networks and communication systems, micro and
nano devices and systems, or computer engineering. Proficiency
in mathematics is especially important in Electrical Engineering.
In order to be admitted to the EE program, a student needs to be
qualified to take MATH 2417 or higher.
The BS with a major in Industrial Engineering provides students
the background that is essential for improving the productivity,
quality, safety, and cost effectiveness of all types of systems and
processes. Industrial engineers are typically engaged in the areas of
quality assurance, ergonomics, production and operations management, facilities design, work design, system optimization, information technology, and industrial safety.
The BS with a major in Manufacturing Engineering is designed to
provide students with the mathematics, science, management, engineering, and applications skills needed to become manufacturing
engineers. These engineers are typically responsible for promoting
manufacturability, process planning, tool design, cost estimation,
factory layout, work methods, quality assurance, automation, and
systems integration. The degree has a concentration in general manufacturing, mechanical systems or semiconductor/high technology
manufacturing. The BS with a major in Manufacturing Engineering
is accredited by ABET, Inc.
